Notes

Started the KAL (@magpiefibers) by getting my swatch done, woo hoo!

07-25-2018

Tried knitting the non-honeycomb portion in stockinette - didn’t look right with the M1’s and gauge between stockinette and garter. Ripped out an entire skein’s worth and knitting in pattern now.

Had to rip back two skeins and knit tighter to accommodate for really large sizing. Adjusted the number of stitches I picked up under the arm. Knit a slightly longer rib at the bottom of the sweater.
